Banding
Banding is an age old process that dates back to our ancestors. Banding your curls is simple and can add the length throughout the day. With freshly washed curls, separate your hair into small to medium sections, With a dime sized amount of Shea Moisture’s Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen, Grow, & Restore Styling Lotion, moisturize each section from the root to the tip. Using a hair tie, make a ponytail out of the first section, about 3 inches under the first hair tie, add another, and another, and repeat until the section of hair is tied with hair ties from root to tip. The next day, gently remove each hair tie and, with about a quarter size of Shea Moisture’s Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen, Grow, & Restore Styling Lotion, re-moisturize your enter head of hair, fluffing out the curls the way you like throughout.

By using Shea Moisture’s Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen, Grow, & Restore Styling Lotion, your curls will retain their shine, bounce, and curl pattern without turning into a dry frizzy mess throughout the day.
